While I am not targeted specifically, I participated in several discussion on this topic, probably in a pretty opinionated way (not anyone should be too impressed by my statements, because I am still a novice in the general Redwood context 
)
Since I was an engineering manager with teams where everybody was trying to avoid Windows-based computers as the development machine, since the early 90th, I am certainly qualified to address many if not all @thedavid’s issues. My biggest problem is the prioritization of several areas I touched/initiated in my brief encounter with RedwoodJS:
- Anything Windows related ( I started here)
- Redwood IDE (started here)
- Redwood Authentication - I did not get the chance to say anything yet, as I wanted to first learn everything that exists so far.
@thedavid can you please suggest where should I start? Item 1. is the easiest for me, and item 2. requires a lot more learning before I could be productive, however, I see this as the most important addition to RedwoodJS (and I have a lot more ambitious plans than Aldo shared so far)
Item 3 is the reason I found Redwood - I wanted to create a very modern blogging platform for me, by integrating Ghost, Discourse and my own app that connects all parts - and that was meant to be a Redwood app. Now, I got “stuck” in RedwoodJS, because I obviously like it more than my own development plans
